Beeping memory

My saga beings with my desire to upgrade my current system memory. I have 2-128mb pc 800 rdram modules so total system memory is 256mb. That was great for 2 years ago but with Half Life 2, Doom 3, Far Cry and so on my system would go into cardiac arrest if i attempted to install any of these games. I received two new samsung pc800 rdram 256mb modules and I wanted to install them. So we move the story along to a few hours ago when I was talking with technical support. They said that it would crash my computer if I installed the two new 256s and had them work with the two 128s I currently have. Instead of 768 (the two stock 128s plus the new 256s) I need to have it balanced, so either take out the stock memory and add the new 256s to make it 512, or I can order two new 256s to make a total of 1024 and just use the stock memory as cannon fodder I guess. Any truth to this? Suggested course of action? thanks in advance.

 
A buds old HP with RDRAMs manual says you can mix and match as long as each bank or channel has the same, like a 256+_128 in each. Just cant do 128+128 and 256+256. Plug em in and see.
